setting or flashes error
code.
Priority Indicator
Indicates that this
controller is setting the

pressing this button
allows this controller to
set the water
temperature.
Diagnostic Use of the Controller
1. To display error codes, press the ON/OFF button followed by
the thermostat button to cycle through the error codes.
2. To display the water flow through the water heater, press the
thermostat button (hold for 2 seconds) and then press the
ON/OFF button while continuing to hold the thermostat
button.
3. To display the outlet water temperature, press the thermostat
button (hold for 2 seconds) and then press the ON/OFF button
while continuing to hold the thermostat button.
To Change the Temperature Scale (ºF / ºC)
With the water heater turned off, press and hold the ON/OFF
button until the display changes to the other temperature scale
(about 5 seconds).
To Turn Off the Controller Sound (Mute)
To turn the sound off (mute), press and hold both the and
thermostat buttons until a “beep” is heard (about 5 seconds).
NOTE: For additional installation and commissioning information refer
to the Operation and Installation Manual.
This appliance must be installed, serviced and removed by a trained
and qualified person. During pressure testing of the consumer piping,
ensure gas valve is turned off before unit is shut off. Failure to do so
may result in serious injury to yourself or damage to the unit.
Commissioning
With all gas appliances in operation at maximum gas rate, the
flowing inlet pressure at the incoming test point on the Rinnai
water heater should read 5" W.C. - 10.5" W.C. on natural gas
and 8" W.C. - 13.5" W.C. on propane gas. If the pressure is
lower, the gas supply is inadequate and the unit will not operate
to specification. Check the gas meter regulator and pipework for
correct operation/sizing and correct as required.
Gas Pressure Setting
Ensure gas pressure check under Commissioning has been
completed first! The regulator is electronically controlled and
factory pre-set. Under normal circumstances it does not require
adjustment during installation. Make adjustments only if the unit is
not operating correctly and all other possible causes for incorrect
operation have been eliminated.
1. Turn OFF the gas supply.
2. Turn OFF the 120 V power supply.
3. Remove the front panel from the appliance.
4. Check the gas type using the data plate on the side of the unit.
If using a spare PC board, check that the gas type switches are
in the correct position (dip switch 1 of SW2: ON for natural gas,
NG, and OFF for propane, LPG). See dip switch settings
section below. (ON is towards the right and OFF is towards the
left.)
5. Attach the pressure gauge to the burner test point, located on
the gas control (Fig. 2).
6. Turn ON the gas supply.
7. Turn ON the 120 V power supply.
8. If a controller is installed, turn the unit ON with the controller.
Select the maximum delivery temperature and open all
available hot water taps at full.
9. Set the unit to ‘Forced Low’ combustion by setting No. 7 dip
switch of the SW1 set to ON (Fig. 3).
10. Check the burner test point pressure.
11. Remove the rubber access plug and adjust the regulator screw
on the modulating valve (Fig. 4) as required in Table 1.
Replace the rubber access plug.
12. Set the unit to ‘Forced High’ combustion by setting both No. 7
and No. 8 dip switches of the SW1 set to ON (Fig. 5). Ensure
maximum water flow.
13. Check the burner test point pressure.
14. Adjust the high pressure potentiometer (POT) on the PC board
as required to the pressure shown in Table 1.
15. Return the unit to normal operation by setting dip switches 7
and 8 of the SW1 set back to OFF (Fig. 6). Close all water
taps.
16. Turn OFF the gas supply and 120 V power supply.
17. Remove the pressure gauge and install sealing screw.
18. Turn ON the gas supply and 120 V power supply.
19. Operate the unit and check for gas leaks at the test point.
20. Install the front panel.
WARNING
Troubleshooting
Important Safety Notes
There are a number of (live) tests that are required when fault
finding this product. Extreme care should be used at all times to
avoid contact with energized components inside the water heater.
Only trained and qualified service technicians should attempt to
repair this product. Before checking for resistance readings,
disconnect the power source to the unit and isolate the item from
the circuit (unplug it).
Heat Exchanger and Outgoing Water Temperature
Thermistors:
Check all thermistors by inserting meter leads into each end of the
thermistor plug. Set your meter to the 20 K scale and read
resistance. Applying heat to the thermistor bulb should decrease
the resistance. Applying ice to the thermistor bulb should increase
the resistance. See below for examples of typical temperatures and
resistance readings.
140
°
F = 2.2 ~ 2.7K
221

F = 11.4 ~ 14K
86°F = 6.4 ~ 7.8K

°
F = 3.6 ~ 4.5K
Example:
With the power off you can check the continuity through the surge
protector. Place a meter lead on the top pin #1 of the surge
protector and pin #3 on the bottom of the surge protector. Check
across the top pin #3 and bottom pin #1. If you read continuity
across these two points then the surge protector is good. If you do
not get continuity then replace the surge protector.
Frost Protection:
This unit has frost protection heaters mounted at different points to
protect the water heater from freezing. The heaters located on the
hot water outlet line should have a resistance reading of 180-207
ohms through each of these heaters. The heater located on the
heat exchanger piping should have a resistance reading of 156-180
ohms and the one located in the water flow sensor valve should
have a resistance reading 24-28 ohms.
Amp Fuses:
This unit has one inline (3) amp glass fuses. Remove the fuse and
check continuity through it. If you have continuity through the fuse
then it is good. Otherwise the fuse is blown and must be replaced.
Flame Rod:
Place one lead of your meter to the flame rod and the other to ground.
With the unit running you should read between 5-150 VAC. Set your
meter to the µ amp scale and series your meter in line with the flame
rod. You should read 1 µ amp or greater for proper flame circuit. In
the event of low flame circuit remove the flame rod and check for
carbon or damage.

DO NOT adjust the other dip switches unless specifically instructed
to do so. Incorrect Dip Switch Settings can cause the water heater
to operate in an unsafe condition and may damage the water heater
and void the warranty.
